An Open Door

  • Let's therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace for help in time of need. Hebrews 4:16 WEB

    Access to God was very limited before Jesus came. There was a thick curtain in the temple that separated the people from the Holy of Holies where God's presence dwelt. When Jesus hung on the cross and said, 'It is finished', this curtain was torn from the top to the bottom, opening the way for us (Matt. 27:51). His door is now open.

    Our heavenly Father has made a way for us to boldly come to Him and tell Him anything on our heart, at any time. Knowing that He only has our best interests in mind. He will not be surprised or shocked at what you tell Him. He will not get angry. In fact there is nothing that you can tell Him that He does not already know, but it will set you free and take a burden off of your own shoulders.

    Come boldly to the Lord in prayer and talk to Him as you would your best friend. Pray about everything; you often have not because you ask not. Develop that close relationship. Pay the price, it is worth it. Dig deeper, there are good things hidden there. Involve God in your everyday life and include Him in your decisions with 'Not my will, but Yours, be done.'

    Prayer: Father, I thank You for opening Your door and welcoming us. I come to meet You today. Work Your will in my life. Lead me, and I will follow You. Let me see the world through Your eyes. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray.

I was in a worried and weak moment not too many days ago.... I cried out to God and here at RHM...I knew I was being weak in faith and tired but God heard me anyway and proceeded to show his love in mighty ways! Financial blessing began to pour into our house that very day! I found job opportunities that same day, I applied for them and am waiting to hear back. We sold our DVD movie collection that very day, a wonderful friend sent us a gift of love,  AND a couple of my books sold that day too! Then yesterday our metal detector sold on eBay so we now have at least one back rent! My mom came to town to visit which is it's own blessing, I can only sit in complete awe and thanks giving to our provider and Father! As I sat in despair and asked God how he showed me how in such a big way! Praise God! It might be only one back rent but I'll take it,  be grateful, and know my loving Father just strengthened my faith that he is going to make it all work out and carry us into a better financial state! The momentum is in play and by the grace of God, we are on our way! Thank you Pastor and Miss Sylvia for all your encouraging ways! This is truly a haven here at RHM and I am so blessed to be here and have the strength of others praying for us. May you all be double blessed and always in the protection of an army of Angels! Much love on this Holy day! God bless

 Thank You Pastor Dion and Sylvia for this message may the Lord Bless you.  I want everyone to know that our Lord is alive and his spirit is so powerful, despite my problems, worries and struggles I try to stay in prayer thru out the day and I'm able to function as a mother of 3 teenagers, a professional at work, and a loving person to anyone that I come across, with a smile on my face.  He gives me the peace in my heart each day as I pray Nothing would hold me together but him. His Grace is sufficient. His so powerful it's unexplainable. God Bless
